ktgrok Posted April 21, 2022 Author Share Posted April 21, 2022 1 hour ago, Pam in CT said: The zzzzz sound is comparatively rare, and the idea of the O-G sequence is to teach the most common sounds first, then layer on the long vowels and common digraphs (sh, ch, ph, the two versions of th), then work up verrrrrrrry gradually to the 50 crazy ways of pronouncing -ough... (...by which point most kids already are reading fluently just through sheer exposure and repetition and don't need any further phonetic instruction, while your poor dyslexic kid has lost all trust in you, LOL...) Most concise description of teaching reading ever, lol. I considered just teaching any future children to read in spanish, not english, just to avoid the nonsense. So much easier! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy101 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) Have you looked at Seton’s? Let me go check them real quick. eta: the only issue I see is they use ox for X. Which I think is acceptable and preferable to xylophone. There’s different vowel cards for each vowel sound too.

BusyMom5 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I have this one from RR, it's so pretty! https://www.rainbowresource.com/product/061726/Large-Alphabet-Set-Illustrated-Alphabet-Cards.html? S is Squirrel O is Ostritch X is an ax- which is just a hard sound! G is goat C is Cow K is kitten- this one could be confusing? H is a horse, and P is a pony- again confusing? I is insects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
